PART 8
"What do you mean you broke up with David?" Rory asked demanding answers
"It just didn't work out" explained Lorelai doing her way to the kitchen for more coffee
"I thought it was going great, at least that's what you said"
"Well it wasn't"
"Why not?" Rory asked when Lorelai sat down
"Because I don't know, it just didn't"
"That's not a reason"
"Rory, honey, not every one has a Luke... it didn't work out, that's all, no big deal"
"It's a very big deal mom, when did this happen?"
"About two weeks ago"
"And now you're telling me"
"Yes"
"Is there some one else?"
"Amm...no"
"Why the hesitation?"
"No hesitation"
"Mom"
"What?"
"Is it Luke again? Please tell me its not"
"No! Are you crazy... no... Rory honey listen, when I'm ready to tell you'll be the first to know"
"So there is some one else"
"Sort of" she looked at her watch "oh, crap, I have to go"
"Where? We need to talk about this mom"
"No we don't I told you, when I'm ready to tell I will... don't push me ok... I'll tell you just not now. I have to go now"
"Ok, are you coming for dinner tonight?"
"I don't know"
"Mom we've been through this, Luke wants you here, you're part of this family and its Jess's birthday, Jess is Luke's family"
"Fine... I'll be here"
"Good. It's at 8 so don't be late"
"I won't, love you" she kissed her and left in a hurry
She arrived at the restaurant witch pretty much became their place and looked around. There he was, sitting there with his current book, reading, his leg on the edge of the sit hanging, his book on one hand while the other holding a bottle of beer
she looked at her watch, she was 20 minutes late oh shit, he's going to kill me she approached the booth and he caught her with his eye "I know I'm late, I'm sorry" she leaned down to kiss him and sat in front of him
"Don't worry about it"
She took a sip of his beer and said "happy birthday" placing a bag on the table
"Thanks" he replied and started opening the wrapped box
"Hope you like it, I didn't know what to get you so"
Inside the box laid a black shirt and beige pants, he smiled
"What?" she asked worried that he doesn't like it
"Don't like the way I dress?" he smiled
"No. I just don't know you that well and I didn't know what to get you, I thought a book would be nice but A. I don't know what you read and I can't ask Rory B. you work at a book store so it would've been dumb and C. I like to shop so"
"Its ok, I like it, I'm just messing with you... thanks" he leaned in and kissed her deeply
"So, we're having dinner with the happy couple tonight, are you up for it?"
"I gotta tell you, it sounds sick but I like pulling these scenes on them, plus you got so many good comebacks I can't keep up"
"Yeah, makes me look strong... should we order, I'm starving"
"Sure" he put the box back in the bag and put it aside "so, can I come over tonight?"
"I don't think so... I have to be in Hartford early in the morning and Babette is coming back tonight so she could smell something... I rather not"
"Oh, ok" he said and started reading the menu
They ordered and ate and she noticed made a face the entire time.. i guess he really wants to spend the night with me, oh, well... it's his birthday, she thought, and while they were waiting for the check she said "you know what, I have a great idea"
"Oh boy... the last time you said that I had to take four showers to get that sticky whipped cream off of me"
"hey! you had fun, you don't complain when you have fun its against the rules... and you don't here me complaining about having sex at the inn... right under Michel's nose"
"Hey, it was the women's bathroom"
"So under Sookie's nose"
"Fine. what's your great idea now?"
"Do you want to have sex in my parents place?"
"You're nuts... be serious please"
"Ok, being serious now. I was thinking since I have to be in Hartford early in the morning" she smiled and kissed him "maybe" she kissed him again and continued "maybe we could get a room at a hotel or something, you know, after dinner tonight"
"Really?" he moved to sit next to her and they started kissing smiling through the kisses
"What do you think?" she asked when they broke away for air
"I think... you leave first and then I will thank then and say I'm tired and meet you there"
"Not so tired"
"Yeah"
"Good plan"
He kissed her then and sent his hand downwards to her inner thigh under her skirt, she giggled and met his hand down there. She arched her head up and he moved his lips to her neck "oh god" she let out and pressed her hand hard against his.
"Jess" she tried but his hand made her crazy. Their lips met again for short wet kisses and she pulled back after a while "I have to go back to the inn"
"Ok" he took his hand out and added "I'll see you tonight"
"Yes you will"
She paid and they left.
That evening at Rory's Lorelai sat on the couch and watched TV with Rory while Luke was in the kitchen making dinner.
"So where did you go earlier? To meet your secret lover?"
"Oh, stop it, he's not a secret lover"
"You don't tell anyone about him that makes him a secret lover in my eyes"
"Fine, I have a secret lover"
"You have a secret lover?" Luke asked coming from the kitchen
"Great†look what you did" she looked at Rory
"What happened to David, I thought it was going great"
"We broke up"
"When did this happen?"
"It doesn't matter"
"Fine. Rory, call Jess, I don't know why he's late"
"Fits him to be late" Lorelai said walking to the kitchen to get a drink
"Jess, I was just about to call you"
"Well I'm here now" he said closing the door behind him, looking around
"Happy birthday" Rory said and hugged him
"Thanks"
"Happy birthday, kid" Luke said and hugged him too
"Thanks"
"Oh look, Sauron is here"
"If I'm Sauron what does that make you, little helpless Frodo?"
"No smart ass... that makes me Gollum"
"Gollum died in the end"
"And so will you if you don't shut up"
Luke and Rory stood from the side and watched them like in a tennis match exchanging insults until Rory couldn't take it anymore
"New cloths, Jess?"
"Ah, yeah"
"Good taste"
"Thanks"
"Where did you buy it?"
"Ah... actually I didn't, it a birthday present"
"I hope you remember her name"
"Mom"
"What, I really do, so he can thank her. it would be very embarrassing if he doesn't remember which one of his little girlfriends bought it"
"Ok you two, break it up and sit down far away from each other" Rory jumped
"Gladly" Jess said and sat on the couch
"Hey pal you're in my sit" Lorelai said
"Lorelai, would you come with me please, I need some help in the kitchen" Luke asked her
"Are you suicidal?" she asked
"What?"
"Are you really asking me to go into a kitchen? Rory your husband needs mental help" she said to Rory
"Just come with me" he said and grabbed her by the arm leaving her no choice but to follow him
"What's wrong with you, its his birthday, cant you try to be nice just once?" he asked her with fury
"What? He was in my sit"
"Lorelai, you have to stop it, I'm gonna talk to him too"
"Didn't I ask you not to grab my arm like that... correct me if I'm wrong but didn't you get slapped the last time you did that"
"Sorry" he said rubbing her arm "so, tell me something, who's that secret lover of yours?"
"I'm not telling, and you can't seduce me with those pretty eyes of yours"
"Says who?" he stepped closer
"I'm not telling you and I'm telling Rory you're flirting with her mom"
"Admit it, you love it"
"Well" she smiled "I do... but I'm still not telling you"
"Come on, why not?"
"Because I cant, not yet"
"Why?"
"Come on Luke, you know that if I could I would"
"Its some one we know, otherwise it wasn't such a big deal but who could it be"
"Stop, I'm not telling you and that's final"
"Fine, come, the food is ready"
After a quiet dinner Lorelai acted tired and left to go to the hotel.
"so, I'm gonna go now" Jess said about 20 minutes after Lorelai left "thank you for dinner, and the gifts, you didn't have to"
"We wanted to" Rory said reaching for Luke's hand
"How come you always hold hands isn't it tiring?"
"No" she smiled and kissed Luke's hand "it's our thing"
"Yeah, so I gotta go, again thank you, I'll see you tomorrow"
"Night Jess" Luke said
"Night, you two love birds"
"You'll have that too one day" she called after him
"Don't think so... bye"
A knock on the door made her jump, the bottle of champagne almost fell from her hands. She opened the door in a pink silk one piece of lingerie "hey punk" she gritted him with a soft kiss and closed the door behind them "hey, what's all this?" he asked taking a long look up and down her body
"It's your birthday present... you like? I got it today after lunch"
"I like" he answered taking his coat off
"A drink?" she asked pouring some champagne into the glasses
"Sure. so amm... what was that earlier?"
"What? The Sauron comment?" she smiled handing him the glass
"No, the kitchen"
"What?" she asked confused
"You know what I'm talking about... you were totally coming on to him"
"What?"
"Yeah, what was that all about?" he put the glass down
"This is so not how this evening was suppose to be like"
"So you admit it"
"I'm not admitting anything Jess, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing I just wanna know what that was all about"
"It was nothing"
"It didn't look like it was nothing"
"What, now you're gonna fight me about it" she put her coat on
"What are you doing?"
"What's it look like... I'm leaving"
"What? Lorelai"
"This was a mistake, I have to leave" he blocked her way
"I'm sorry"
"Don't be, let me go"
"I'm sorry ok"
"Get out of my way Jess"
"look at me, Lorelai" he searched for her eyes "I don't know what's gotten into me, I walked to the kitchen and I heard you say something about his eyes and he stepped closer and I was sure you were going to kiss him and I went back to the living room, I didn't know what to think... and you got to admit it didn't look good"
"It looked fine, we're friends, and he does have pretty eyes... he's married to Rory, Jess, did you think I can do something like that to Rory"
"I'm sorry, please stay" he smiled
"I hate this... cant we just not fight for one day"
"I don't think so"
"Punk"
"Loony"
"Jealous"
"Freak"
"Sauron"
"Gollum"
"Ok got me there" she smiled
"Lorelai Gilmore doesn't have a comeback?" he smiled back and slowly took her coat off
"I didn't see this one coming that's all"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever"
"So do you like your present?" she asked as he moved his hands along her body and felt the soft fabric of her lingerie
"Definitely"
"Good, now let's get these off so you can be more comfortable"
She started undressing him slowly, not loosing eye contact with him. They started kissing intensely and did there way to the bed. He fell on the bed and she climbed on top of him feeling him between her legs, he closed his eyes and let her do her magic on him. Long and passionate, the night went on, and he got the perfect birthday present, he got to have her in his arms, a feeling that was still weird for him but yet so good.
They fell asleep, tangled sheets covering them, her head resting in the crook of his neck, her hand on his bare chest. She felt safe, protected.
There are maybe 2 more chapters until the baby comes. And then Luke would be the first to find out I think. Maybe Jess will have a man to man talk with him. I don't know.
But I would love to hear more suggestions.
Thanks for reading, and for reviewing, and for having great ideas.
Bye for now.
